An Afternoon Outdoors!

It's so amazing to think that this time last year Ross was barely even crawling!

She certainly gets around these days!

The New Kitchen

If you follow the other blog, then you already know Pop built Ross a FABULOUS new kitchen for Christmas! I'd been waiting to reveal it until I was able to put a few finishing touches on on the walls. 

I wish I could express to you how excited we are about it!

But, maybe a few of these pictures will give you some kind of idea . . .

What Are We Eating Today?

. . . a whole LOT of nothing.

We have OFFICIALLY hit the "picky" stage. (It is a stage, right?)

At one point in time, I thought I had nothing to worry about.  From the get-go, Ross has eaten really well. (Hence her size . . .) I normally had no problems getting her to finish her food.

Here recently, however, things have changed completely. Today, for instance, she literally gagged most of her food out of her mouth. I can't even begin to tell you how frustrating that is.

I have, thankfully, found one thing she will eat and eat and eat . . .

Surely, you've seen these. This one happens to be Target's "Up & Up" brand (the cheapest I've found). I really like Target's brand because they mix fruit AND vegetable- a double dose of nutrition!

She begs and begs to have these . . . all day. 

And, well, with her not eating like I'm used to, she normally gets it.

*sigh*

Stage . . . right?

A Family Weekend

Our Christmas Morn

I know I'm a bit behind! Here are a few snap shots of Christmas at our house!

A little side note . . . although Ross decided NOT to sit on Santa's lap (after waiting in line for almost an hour), she did however, rehearse what she would have asked Santa to bring her. And, I wasn't at all surprised to hear, "ICE!" (i.e. ice cream) You better believe, Mimi & Papa made sure that happened . . .

More pics on a few exciting gifts to come . . . !!
